Descrierea

Parametri

stream

The target stream.

filtername

The filter name.

read_write

By default, stream_filter_append() will
attach the filter to the read filter chain
if the file was opened for reading (i.e. File Mode:
r, and/or +). The filter
will also be attached to the write filter chain
if the file was opened for writing (i.e. File Mode:
w, a, and/or +).
STREAM_FILTER_READ,
STREAM_FILTER_WRITE, and/or
STREAM_FILTER_ALL can also be passed to the
read_write parameter to override this behavior.

params

This filter will be added with the specified
params to the end of
the list and will therefore be called last during stream operations.
To add a filter to the beginning of the list, use
stream_filter_prepend().

Valorile întoarse

Returns a resource which can be used to refer to this filter
instance during a call to stream_filter_remove().

/* Write a simple string to the file * it will be ROT13 transformed on the * way out */fwrite($fp, "This is a test\n");

/* Back up to the beginning of the file */rewind($fp);

/* Read the contents of the file back out. * Had the filter been applied to the * read filter chain as well, we would see * the text ROT13ed back to its original state */fpassthru($fp);

fclose($fp);

/* Expected Output ---------------

Guvf vf n grfg

Note

Notă:
When using custom (user) filtersstream_filter_register() must be called first
in order to register the desired user filter to filtername.

Notă:
Stream data is read from resources (both local and remote) in chunks,
with any unconsumed data kept in internal buffers. When a new
filter is appended to a stream, data in the internal buffers is processed through
the new filter at that time. This differs from the behavior of
stream_filter_prepend().

Notă:
When a filter is added for read and write, two instances of the filter
are created. stream_filter_append() must be called twice
with STREAM_FILTER_READ and
STREAM_FILTER_WRITE to get both filter resources.

While using compression filters on a large set of files during one script invocation i've got
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of xxx bytes exhausted
even when my max memory limit settings was insane high (128MB)

Workaround is to remember to remove filter after work done with stream_filter_remove:

The difference betweem adding a stream filter first or last in the filte list in only the order they will be applied to streams.

For example, if you're reading data from a file, and a given filter is placed in first place with stream_filter_prepend()the data will be processed by that filter first.

This example reads out file data and the filter is applied at the beginning of the reading operation:

<?php/* Open a test file for reading */$fp = fopen("test.txt", "r");/* Apply the ROT13 filter to the * read filter chain, but not the * write filter chain */stream_filter_prepend($fp, "string.rot13",STREAM_FILTER_READ);// read file data$contents=fread($fp,1024);// file data is first filtered and stored in $contentsecho $contents;fclose($fp);?>

On the other hand, if stream_filter_append() is used, then the filter will be applied at the end of the data operation. The thing about this is only the order filters are applied to streams. Back to the example, it's not the same thing removing new lines from file data and then counting the number of characters, than performing the inverse process. In this case, the order that filters are applied to stream is important.

This example writes a test string to a file. The filter is applied at the end of the writing operation:

<?php/* Open a test file for writing */$fp = fopen("test.txt", "w+");/* Apply the ROT13 filter to the * write filter chain, but not the * read filter chain */stream_filter_append($fp, "string.rot13",STREAM_FILTER_WRITE);/* Write a simple string to the file * it will be ROT13 transformed at the end of thestream operation * way out */fwrite($fp, "This is a test\n"); // string data isfirst written, then ROT13 tranformed and lastlywritten to file/* Back up to the beginning of the file */rewind($fp);$contents=fread($fp,512);fclose($fp);echo $contents;?>

In the first case, data is transformed at the end of the writing operation, while in the second one, data is first filtered and then stored in $contents.
